Pro Kitchen Tips

- Use warm water to activate the yeast properly.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area for best results.
- Brush the top with melted butter after baking for a soft crust.

Step 1

Whisk the water, milk, brown sugar, honey, and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a large bowl. Once combined, add the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, and salt. Stir everything together until the dough just comes together.

Step 2

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it until it’s smooth and elastic. Lightly oil another bowl with a tablespoon of vegetable oil, place your dough inside, and turn it around so it’s coated with oil. Cover it and let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size, which should take about an hour.

Step 3

When the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Give the dough a gentle punch to release the air, then knead it a few times. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and shape each into a loaf. Pop them into greased 9x5-inch loaf pans.

Step 4

Let the loaves rise again until the dough is about an inch above the edges of the pans, around 30 minutes. Finally, bake them in the oven until they turn golden brown, which usually takes 20 to 25 minutes. Let the bread cool for a bit before slicing and enjoying!

Best Pairings For This Dish

Enjoy this bread toasted with butter or jam. It also pairs wonderfully with creamy cheeses or a drizzle of honey. Use it to make sweet sandwiches or simply savor it fresh with a cup of tea or coffee.

Storage Advice

Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature to keep it soft. For longer storage, freeze slices wrapped in plastic wrap and foil. Thaw at room temperature or toast directly from frozen.
